Ancient Greece

The ancient historical period is generally considered to start at 500 BCE after cursive writing became common and events were recorded in detail.

Before that is Pre-history, when events had to be retrieved from lesser sources and evidence.

The three types of Greek columns are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.

1. Dorian represents man or male

2. Ionic represents woman or female

3. Corinthian represents the young maiden

It was characterized by polytheistic religion based on mythology

1. In ancient times , Greece nwas not one united or unified country because of the mountains. How did ... How does human development affect the environment?

Athens was a democracy and had more liberal (for that time) thinking and had good navy. Sparta was a oligarchy was more conservative and militaristic and had great army. In the war between them (Peloponnesian war), Sparta won.

Migratory tribes settled on arable land and erected a hill fort for protection against invaders. Cities grew up around the hill, and so a city-state was formed, the inhabitants having no wish or reason to merge with neighbours who might be rival or predators.

Well I'm not sure if 'pets' are the right word but most of the Greek gods had animals that represented them. Fir example Zeus had the Eagle, Ares had the dogs, Aphrodite had the dove, etc. The closest thing to a pet was Hades Cerberus who didn't represent him.

Neptune is Posiedon's roman name.

Although it has the superficial legacy of 12th Century BCE Mycenaean Greek times of kings, it has underlying descriptions of later elements from the time of Homer in the late 8th Century BCE, where the landowning farmers were in control, and the heroes were really military guardians hired by the farmers to protect their property from invaders.

The soil was mostly poor as Greece is mountainous and rocky. And there were no tractors for ploughing - traction for ploughs was by ox, and these put pressure on the normal small farmer to feed it as well as his family on farms about a hectare in area, particularly in winter.

And of course, how did you divide the farm amongst several sons and their families, when the plot was only big enough for one family - you shipped them off to grab farms of their own in other territory, which is how Greek cities sprang up all around the Mediterranean and Black seas.

By today's standards they were small, with small rooms. Walls were thick and windows small to keep out the heat in summer and keep in the heat in winter. The better-off had houses with an inside court yard and with womens' quarters.

The Ancient Greeks did not know much about the Earth. They developed deities that were personifications of worldly things to provide answers to things beyond their knowledge. Also the Greek gods embodied specific emotions and characteristics, making them somewhat imperfect. For example, Poseidon embodied anger and aggression, and could hold quite a grudge. Zeus embodied hospitality, but was often prone to jealousy and lust.

Many Greek cities were built on a rocky hill called an acropolis. The name acropolis was from the Greek word akros, meaning highest, and polis, meaning city.

The Ptolemaic (Greek/Macedonian) rule of Egypt from 332- 30 BCE caused Egypt to be a major influence on Greek religion and dieties. A common example of this is the worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis, who was likened to Greek goddesses such as Demeter and Aphrodite.

If you are referring to the art in general, as in the type of art famous for depicting Bible scenes in cathedrals and church sanctuaries, it is simply called stained glass, or Mosaic, art.

Epics of importance to the Greeks of the Dorian periodare a source of much of Greek mythology. Through the myths, the Greeks sought to understand the mysteries of nature and power of human passions

They invaded in 480 BCE by marching from Asia Minor through Thrace, Macedonia, Thessaly.

They were accompanied by a fleet which kept pace with the ground troops and protected the sea resupply lane.

He extended Macedonian control throughout Greece and planned takeover of the Persian Empire. His assassination left the latter to be done by his son and successor Alexander.

The first recorded thermometer was invented by an Italian - Santorio Santorio (1561-1636) at the end of the 16th Century.

Slavery exists here in the United States but not in a fashion that most might be familiar with. Though the term is typically associated with forced labor, the slave trade and the use of slaves as labor in the later 1700's the term can also be used when no labor is present. Slavery is also often referred to as "bondage" which can be defined as " the state of being under the control of another " or "someone entirely dominated by some other influence"

In this case, when dependence is by choice, one can see that slavery/bondage exists throughout the US. All manners of abusers are slaves to their socially unacceptable urges, drug addicts are slaves to their narcotics as surely as welfare recipients are enslaved by the unearned federal subsidies they so readily crave.

There were not 36 wars between Athens and Sparta.

The Battle of Thermopylae took place in late summer or early fall of 480 B.C.E. In response to the latest Persian invasion of the Greek homeland, a small group of Greek allies, led by a soon-to-be-famous contingent of Spartans, assembled at the choke-point of the pass of Thermopylae in the hope of defeating, or at least delaying, the Persian army approaching from the north.
